sporadic feelings

Eighteen stories last for two hours, during which time I smiled several times, laughed twice, filled my eyes twice, cried once, and was speechless once. It is a rare good film, although it is a collection of short films, but because the title is the same and the tone is the same, it can be seen in one go. About 5 minutes of each short film may feel unfinished, but this is where the director's skills are tested. Movies are storytelling and art, so the longer the time, the more the director's ability to use the language of the film is reflected.

Talk about a few particularly impressive (sorted in order)

1, Oliver Schmitz's PLACE DES FETES. When I saw that I really cried with the girl like this at the end, it may be largely because the theme music is too emotional. Why are we moved every time we see such insistence on love? Is it because we no longer believe in love in reality, so we choose to believe in stories? The director's several close-ups and the switching of shots are very tense, and once again praised the theme music, which is very emotional.

2. TOUR EIFFEL by Sylvain Chomet. The expressiveness of art is very strong. The so-called strong expressiveness of art means that it cannot be explained. Once explained, it will be messed up. I can only watch it silently and then resonate. The action of the clown changing his smiling face with his hand makes me very sad...

3. Alexander Payne's 14 ARRONDISSEMENT, the last one, can be used as a summary of the whole movie. Although everyone comes from different places, they all love the city and life. As the most ordinary people, everyone together constitutes the most unique charm of this city. Maybe only people who have lived alone outside can understand the feeling that the narrator finally said on the bench, grateful? moved? sad? Joy...or all of them.

4. LOIN DU 16 by Walter Salles & Daniela Thomas. The actors are very good. They sing the same lullaby, but clearly feel that the front is as a mother, and the back is as a nanny... It's very touching.

5. BASTILLE by Isabel Coixet. Although it's a very old-fashioned story, the man's monologue is very interesting, and the wife's red dress strokes the black iron railing is really a beautiful picture.

6, Gus Van Sant's LE MARAIS, the male protagonist is not bad, but also romantic. But it can only make people feel romantic...

7. Du Kefeng's PORTE DE CHOICY, for Du Kefeng's this... I can only say... It's too pioneering, I can't understand that I'm back to my home star, that The last exposed thigh of the actor who imitated Lu Yan's appearance left me speechless to the end, and Faye Wong's "Sky" was a BG MUSIC... And Du's understanding of Je t'aime turned out to be... The protagonist's name is Aini, and then "I love you" "Here...

A rare and good collection of short films, go buy them all.

Paris, je t'aime quotes

  • Thomas: And you were accepted, of course. You moved from Boston to Paris into a little apartment on the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis. I showed you our neighborhood, my bars, my school. I introduced you to my friends, my parents. I listened to your texts, your singing, your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. My Italian, my German, a bit of Russian. I gave you a walkman. You gave me a pillow. And one day, you kissed me. Time went by, time flew and everything seemed so easy, so simple, so free, so new, so unique. We went to the movies, we went dancing, we went shopping, we laughed, you cried, we swam, we smoked, we shaved, you screamed; sometimes for no reason, or for a reason. Yes, sometimes for a reason. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams, I listened to your singing, to your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. We were close, so close, ever so close. We went to the movies, we swam, we laughed. You screamed, sometimes for a reason and sometimes without. Time went by, time flew. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams. You listened to my Italian, German, Russian, French. I studied for my exams. You screamed, sometimes for a reason. Time went by for no reason. You screamed for no reason. I studied for my exams, my exams, my exams. Time went by, you screamed, you screamed, you screamed. I went to the movies.

  • Zarka: [speaking to Franois] I'm surprised to see you here.

    Zarka: I'm Zarka.

    Franois: Franois... How are your hands.

    Zarka: Ok.

    Zarka's Grandfather: It was good of you to help her.

    Franois: Only natural.
